Minolta XTsi to Yellowstone | a 7 Image Story This trip to Yellowstone was my first. My newest camera at the time was the Minolta XTsi Maxxum. It had several new electronic features, but the basic camera was more consumer than the more professional Minolta XG-9. Still, as you can see, it produced some nice images. These images were scanned into digital by the film processing provider and burned onto a CD. They are only 1.6MP, but they came along with the slides or prints and negatives.
Although I’ve been back to Yellowstone many times since this first trip, I’ve only seen and photographed a grizzly one other time. I’m still looking for my first really good grizzly image. Also, several images show burnt forest. Yellowstone has had some major fires in the past. The biggest was in 1988 when over a third of the park burned. The forests have, of course, regenerated themselves since then.
Each image will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Minolta XTsi to Yellowstone.

Kodak Signet 30 to Garden of the Gods | Colorado Springs Park Garden of the Gods is a Colorado Springs Park with 300 foot high sandstone rock formations. It’s a registered National Natural Landmark. The children of Charles Elliott Perkins inherited the four-hundred eighty acres where the park resides. Following their father’s wishes, they gave the land to the City of Colorado Springs with the stipulation that it be known forever as the “Garden of the Gods ” and forever remain open to the public, free of charge. Perkins wanted the park to be left in its natural state for the enjoyment of generations to come. For the whole story with all images, see Kodak Signet 30 to Garden of the Gods | a 7 Image Story.
